The Lion wakes up, eventually. The four friends and Toto the dog continue their journey, following the yellow brick road. They passed houses and painted that are painted green. They also come across people who are dressed in green. It is dark, and the travelers stop and knock at a house. They ask the woman who opens the door if they can spend the night and have a meal at the place. She agrees.

The travelers reach the wall of the Emerald City the next afternoon. The wall is “thick, high and green.” They seek to enter the city and are given access by a green-hued man. The man warns the travelers that the Great Wizard of Oz is the most terrible. He, therefore, shows them that the Wizard is highly feared in the city. The man gives all the travelers green eyeglasses to put them on. The glasses help to prevent the travelers from being blinded by the “brightness and glory” of the city. He after that leads the travelers through a portal that leads them into the Emerald City.
